True Crime
On March 2, 1998, while on her way to school, ten-year-old
Natascha Kampusch was abducted. More than eight years later,
on August 23, 2006, she escaped with a story that shocked
and horrified the entire world. She spent the most delicate
years of her life hidden in a cellar underneath an ordinary
Austrian suburban home. How was she able to survive? What
sort of woman had emerged? What kind of man was Wolfgang
Priklopil, her abductor—and what demands had he made of her? As the days and weeks passed, and Natascha's only TV
interview failed to quell the world's curiosity, the
questions began to multiply: What exactly was the
relationship between the abductor and the hostage? Why had
Natascha waited so long to make her bid for freedom when it
seemed she had earlier opportunities to do so? Did
Natascha's parents know Priklopil before he kidnapped their
daughter? Allan Hall and Michael Leidig have covered the story from
the first days of the ten-year-old's disappearance,
interviewing police investigators, lawyers, psychiatrists,
Priklopil's coworkers and the family members closest to
Natascha. A work of extraordinary investigative reporting,
Girl in the Cellar gets to the heart of this very tragic
case to reveal a truth no one would have imagined.
